An 18-day-old West Lafayette boy is being treated at an Indianapolis hospital for serious head injuries that investigators suspect were inflicted over the weekend by his teenage father.

The infant, whose name has not been released, was last listed in critical condition according to Sgt. Cindy Marion, a detective with the West Lafayette Police Department. He was undergoing tests, including an MRI, through Monday afternoon to determine the extent of his injuries.
